Aims and scope

The Journal of Mechanism and Institution Design aims to publish original articles that deal with the issues
of designing, improving, analysing and testing economic, financial, political, or social mechanisms and institutions.
It welcomes theoretical, empirical, experimental, historical and practical studies. It seeks creative, interesting,
rigorous, and logical research and strives for clarity of thought and expression. We particularly encourage less
experienced researchers such as recent PhD graduates to submit their work to the Journal and are sympathetic towards
those papers that are novel and innovative but which, being outside the main paradigms, have been unsuccessful elsewhere.
We hope that the published articles will be interesting and valuable to a broad audience from the areas of economics,
finance, politics, law, computer science, management, history, mathematics, government, and related disciplines.
The journal is an open-access, independent, peer-reviewed, non-profit, English-language journal with the purpose of
disseminating and sharing the latest knowledge and understanding of the subject widely.
